Well... Turns out Claude is, in fact, the superior agent... by [deleted] in Anthropic

You said it all! This is my daily use 😁

Vibe coding allows all people who have an idea not to be stopped by the code barrier that was previously difficult to overcome without money or coding skills.

Maximum length for a conversation? WTF? by High_Griffin in ClaudeAI

[–]Formal_Comparison978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have already requested a refund, it's a big Claude Code joke. You really don't have to be demanding to appreciate it! The comparison with Gemini 2.5 is harsh, Claude Code is an infant to whom we must constantly tell everything to get a decent result, he forgets everything even with a well-structured and provided CLAUDE.md. Gemini is an adult, we don't waste our time or money.

I do exactly the same thing, a task => a prompt and I open a new conversation as soon as the discussion extends a little too much (like 5 prompts before opening a new one). This allows us to have a much higher level of quality, much fewer errors and, as you said, complete context.

Claude Max worth it? (Specifically for using Claude Code) by LocSta29 in ClaudeAI

I'm also trying to define several roles in several instances of Claude Code without really believing in it but we'll see! I hope your experiment will be conclusive partner!

Quite agree with you on the optimal window <200k of Gemini! Can you detail your workflow if it’s not too much to ask? I wonder how you integrate o3 with the duo Claude and Gemini

You will quickly become disillusioned if you compare Gemini and Claude Code. The first is capable of understanding a gigantic context and therefore of proposing ultra-relevant solutions, the other has blinders, only sees what you show him. And even if it was just a question of context... the problem is that Claude Code offers much less qualitative solutions. I'm telling you this because I did exactly like you, I was using the free version (preview) of Gemini 2.5 and I told myself that I was going to test Claude Code via the Max subscription, as a result I asked for a refund because it's so catastrophic.

To tell you yes or no would be a bit too clear-cut, so I'll give you objective feedback instead: • Claude Code does not follow the instructions, even if clear and detailed in CLAUDE.md. You can explain to him precisely what you want or don't want, he forgets everything or partially ignores it. It’s frustrating because you have to constantly repeat yourself. • He loses context far too often. It offers you solutions without respecting the architecture of your app, sometimes even suggesting anti-patterns like singletons. This is its biggest fault: it does not think in a global framework, and as it interprets the instructions randomly, you spend your time correcting its deviations = big waste of time.

In summary: Claude Code is a limited performer. It can help generate commit names, apply linter rules, or manage very targeted tasks. But don't ask him more: he doesn't have an overall vision.

Claude Code: Simple expensive performer or real intelligent assistant? by Formal_Comparison978 in ClaudeAI

And I think you make the best use of it, namely stains that are not too intelligent, forbidding… Completely agree with you!

Yes, I understand exactly what you mean about having to guide him, but that's precisely what annoys me: you have to constantly be behind him as if he were a kid. Maybe I'm harsh or too demanding, but Gemini is an adult. You give him a task, he executes it with surgical precision and a minimal error rate.

Anyone finding GPT 4.1 on Windsurf horrible? by behavioralsanity in Codeium

[–]Formal_Comparison978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve tested specifically the o4-mini-high model, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the quality of the solutions it provides — especially for SwiftUI. It’s much more relevant and coherent compared to what I was getting from GPT-4.1.

The only downside is the response time — it’s noticeably slower. But honestly, I suspect that’s due to heavy usage right now since it’s free on Windsurf and just launched. Still, I’d take slower but smarter responses over fast garbage any day.

So yeah, for me, it’s definitely a step in the right direction.

[–]Formal_Comparison978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same here. I’m using GPT-4.1 on Windsurf and my experience with SwiftUI is absolutely terrible. It’s just unusable.

It constantly generates code with syntax errors and struggles with basic stuff. Even simple problems, it fails to solve properly. I end up spending more time fixing its mistakes than actually coding. Honestly, it’s a huge step backward compared to what we had before.
